  • News from our partners

If you're looking to eliminate stubborn fat without surgery, CoolSculpting Elite might be the solution you’ve been searching for. This innovative, non-invasive procedure has gained popularity for its ability to target and freeze away fat cells, helping you achieve a slimmer and more contoured physique. In this article, we'll dive into everything you need to know about CoolSculpting Elite, including how it works, its benefits, what to expect during the treatment, and more.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is the latest advancement in the CoolSculpting line of treatments, designed to provide more efficient and effective fat reduction. Like the original CoolSculpting, it uses cryolipolysis, a process that targets and freezes fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues. The frozen fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body over time, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated areas.

CoolSculpting Elite builds on the success of its predecessor by offering improved applicators that allow for better contact with the skin and more precise treatment areas. This means quicker treatment times, increased comfort, and enhanced results.

How Does CoolSculpting Elite Work?

The Science Behind Cryolipolysis

CoolSculpting Elite works by applying controlled cooling to specific areas of the body where stubborn fat tends to accumulate. The cold temperature crystallizes the fat cells, which then die and are gradually flushed out of the body through the lymphatic system. Because fat cells are more susceptible to cold than other types of cells, the surrounding tissues remain unharmed.

Treatment Process

During the treatment, a CoolSculpting Elite applicator is placed on the targeted area. The applicator gently suctions the skin and underlying fat into the device, where it is exposed to controlled cooling. Patients typically feel intense cold at first, followed by numbness in the treated area. The procedure generally takes about 35-60 minutes per area, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

Benefits of CoolSculpting Elite

Non-Invasive and Safe

One of the biggest advantages of CoolSculpting Elite is that it’s a non-invasive procedure, meaning there are no incisions, needles, or anesthesia required. This minimizes the risk of complications and ensures a quicker recovery time compared to surgical fat reduction methods like liposuction.

Targeted Fat Reduction

CoolSculpting Elite is highly effective at targeting specific areas of the body where fat tends to be most stubborn, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin. It’s particularly useful for those who are close to their ideal weight but have pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Minimal Downtime

Because the procedure is non-invasive, most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. There may be some temporary redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but these side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days.

Long-Lasting Results

Once the fat cells are eliminated from the body, they do not regenerate. This means that the results of CoolSculpting Elite can be long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the Procedure

When you arrive for your CoolSculpting Elite session, you’ll be positioned comfortably while the applicator is placed on the target area. You may feel a pulling sensation as the device suctions your skin, followed by a cooling effect. Most patients find the procedure to be tolerable, with many choosing to read, browse their phone, or even take a nap during the session.

After the Procedure

There is no required downtime after CoolSculpting Elite, so you can typically resume your daily activities immediately. You might experience some temporary side effects like redness, swelling, or numbness in the treated area, but these should subside within a few days to a week.

Results and Follow-Up

Results from CoolSculpting Elite can start to become visible as soon as three weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results appearing after two to three months. Depending on your goals and the amount of fat being targeted, you may need more than one session to achieve your desired outcome. Your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs.

Is CoolSculpting Elite Right for You?

CoolSculpting Elite is an excellent option for those looking to reduce stubborn fat without undergoing surgery. However, it’s important to note that it’s not a weight-loss solution and is best suited for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have localized areas of fat they’d like to eliminate.

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting Elite are those who:

  • Are at or near their target weight
  • Have specific areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise
  • Prefer a non-surgical approach to fat reduction
  • Are in good overall health with realistic expectations for the outcome

Consultation with a Professional

Before undergoing CoolSculpting Elite, it’s important to have a consultation with a qualified professional who can assess your suitability for the treatment. During the consultation, your provider will evaluate your body, discuss your goals, and determine if CoolSculpting Elite is the best option for you.
